Needlework Update - March, 2026

 

Good morning,

Welcome to our Needlework Update!  This is where we show you what we've completed since the last Update.  

Above is a gorgeous Warm Rich Browns Large Afghan Blanket.  It's lovely for a man or a woman.  $185.  More information and images are here.  Hint:  This is a great Easter, Mother's Day, or Father's Day present!

 This Christening, Bris, or Naming Ceremony Blanket is very popular in the shop.  $75.  Only one currently available.

 This Lap Blanket in Royal Blue and White is a lovely gift for someone special or to use yourself.  The colors just might be your school colors, too.  $55.  More information and images are here.

 This Wool Blend Basket Weave hat was a custom order and has been delivered.  I'm currently working on a dark brown hat in the same design. When finished, it'll be available in the shop.

This Pure White Cloche Hat is new in the shop.  $10.  More information and images here.

This wool blend hat is available here.  $12. Only one available.

This Royal Blue hat is available here.  $10.  Only one available.

And, finally, here's a brown Cloche Hat that was just added to the shop.  $10.  More about this hat is here.

 That's it for another Update.  We are both planning and making things for the shop.  We sincerely appreciate your encouragement, likes, shares, favorites, pins, comments, and purchases, too!

 Please stop by to see the  nearly 300 items we have available to ship now at Evensens Productions!

You'll note there is no wood working update included this time.  Kjell is still taking time off from wood working since his cataract surgery.  He has to be very careful not to get dust or wood chips near his eyes.  We hope to have him back in his wood workshop soon!

All the very best,

Lois

Happy Anniversary to My Honey!

 Happy Anniversary to My Honey, Kjell!

Yesterday was our anniversary.  This year we celebrate 27 wonderful years of marriage and 10 years of retirement. 

 Thank you for the lovely flowers, Sweetheart.

 Thank you to Catherine for the tray of cookies from the same wonderful bakery that made our wedding cake.

This is my gift to My Honey who makes such yummy meals, especially those with a Norwegian flavor.

Last night we cooked at home.  Next week we will celebrate with a dinner out at a restaurant. 

Life is good!  

I love you, Sweetie,

Lois

Signs of Spring

 
Good morning,

When I was out in the back yard with the dogs yesterday afternoon, I saw the daffodils poking up in front of the stone wall. 

We have had temperatures in the 60's and down to zero over the last few weeks.  Now that the daffs are poking their leaves up we know Spring is getting close!

All the very best,

Lois 

 

 

 

Egg Lunch Salad During Lent

 Good morning,

That's going to be LOTS of egg salad!  Catherine is making it for the dog club luncheon during a show.  

It looks good to me! 

 Of course, Lily is available to supervise and be the official Lab tester.

Yum!

Work in Process This Week - Intarsia Hat

 Good morning,

My current project is an intarsia knit hat.  When finished, it will be available in the shop.   There are similar hats in other colors in the shop that are available to ship now.

I have been making some smaller items since finishing the Large Warm Rich Browns Afghan Blanket last week.  After a large project, it is fun to switch to some small projects for awhile.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Potholders Made in Norway

 Good morning,

Those lovely pot holders are eleven years old. When Kjell and I visited Norway in 2015 we visited his sister and brother-in-law.  While sitting on their deck, my sister-in-law pulled out her knitting needles, yarn, and began knitting.  Before the evening was over, she handed me this lovely pair of potholders.

These are double thick and just wonderful to use.  I've been using them for eleven years now and they are like new.

I so appreciate hand made gifts.  Thank you, Torild, I think of you every time I use them. 

All the very best,

Lois

So Peaceful

 Good morning,

That's sweet Elsa sleeping on the couch with Catherine's pillow.  

It's really hard to be a dog here. 

Precious.

All the best,

Lois
